Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Illustrations of Scottish History: From the Twelfth to the Sixteenth Century; Selected From Unpublished Manuscripts in the British Museum, and the Tower of London Had this collection been prepared for general circulation a different course would have been pursued; but it is believed that those for whose particular use it is intended will agree with me in the opinion that comments are frequently unnecessary, and where necessary, arc seldom 60 satisfactory as to preclude the desire for further investigation. The repositories from which the documents here printed arc derived, contain matter illustrative of Scottish History enough to fill many volumes. The incidental notices of Scottish affairs which are contained in the unprinted English Chronicles, the accounts of the money expended upon the expeditions against Scotland under the three Edwards, the wages and provisions for the garrisons in Scotland, the accounts of the Treasurers, Sheriffs, and Keepers of castles, and innumerable entries of a similar nature, all present information of the highest moment. Without derogating from the acknowledged merit of the late History of Scotland, it is self-evident that it would have been more complete had these various sources of information been accessible to its highly-gifted author during the progress of his labours: and it is presumed that the publication of this volume, and of the celebrated Scalacronica, (now in the press by the liberality of tho Maitland Club,) will supply authority for the removal of some obscurities, and the insertion of some additional and not unimportant facts in our National history.
